JUDGMENT

 

MBONGWE J:

 

[1]       On 26 March 2025 in the Urgent Court I heard an opposed application for interdictory relief.

 

[2]       At the conclusion of the hearing I gave an ex tempore judgment and ordered that the matter was not urgent and that it is removed from the roll.

 

[3]        A request by Counsel for the Applicant that an order be made directing the times for the Applicant to institute a review application in respect of which the interdict was sought be included in the removal order was erroneously entertained and an order, order 2, issued.

 

[4]       A further error, the costs order that was supposed to be in favour of the First Respondent was given in favour of the Applicant.

 

[5]        I have on 09 May 2025, pursuant to correspondence from the First Respondent’s attorneys, had a meeting with, inter alia, Counsel for the parties to explain the errors and advise that the order dated 28 March 2025 will be corrected and aligned with the conclusion reached on 26 March 2025 as follows:

 

1.1.         Order 1 for the removal of the matter from the roll for lack of urgency remains.

1.2.         Order 2 relating to review proceedings to be launched by the Applicant is deleted.

1.3.         Order 3 is deleted and substituted with the following:

 

“3. The Applicant is ordered to pay the costs of this application, which costs shall include the costs consequent upon employment of two counsel.”
